Typical download speed from build.o.o

I am currently in India and the download speeds when doing `osc
checkout` have been just terrible — about 20 KiB/s on a good day. For
packages with source tarballs of a few MiB, the download proceeds at
snail's pace and eventually errors out with something like the
following:

> Connection broken: IncompleteRead(6935464 bytes read, 17469448 more expected)

The same thing happens with zypper downloads; however, in that case it
is easy to work around the problem by specifying a working, non-crap
mirror (http://opensuse-mirror-gce-ap.susecloud.net/tumbleweed/repo/ is
pretty good). There is apparently no user-facing way to do something
similar for use by osc. The lack of such a configuration option for the
build service means I am completely frozen out of any build-service
related work as long as I am in India.
